Παραθετω εδω τις απιστευτες πραγματικα παραγραφους απο το βιβλιο στα αγγλικα :
Behind every moment of courage was a man or woman who faced a difficult internal struggle. When they face it, it becomes an amazing story. They become legends. But if they turn away from the flinch, their stories are unexceptional. They’re like everyone else. They vanish.
Walk up to your shower, and turn on the cold water. Wait a second; then test it to make sure it’s as cold as possible.
Do you see what’s coming? If you do, you should tense up immediately. You should feel it in your chest. You might start laughing to release the tension—and you haven’t even stepped inside. You’re predicting a flinch that hasn’t happened yet. You’re already anxious about it—about something that hasn’t happened and won’t kill you—anxious about something that barely hurts at all.
As the cold water hits you, you might shout or squirm. But the discomfort lasts only a second. You quickly get used to it. You get comfortable with cold, instead of trying to avoid it. You put yourself in the path of the shower to speed up the adjustment process.
This is not an exercise in masochism. It’s a way of training yourself, of “seeing the flinch and going forward, not rationalizing your fear and stepping away.” It’s a way to develop a physiological tolerance for facing the things that most scare us–things that pose no real threat (trust me, I have taken prescribed cold showers and lived to tell about it).
Αναφερει οτι δεν προκειται για μαζοχισμο.
Αντιθετα βλεπεις τον φοβο καταματα και αντι να τρεχεις μακρια απο αυτον , τον αντιμετωπιζεις στα ισα χωρις καμια δικαιολογια .
Ειναι μια ασκηση για να αντιμετωπιζουμε τα πραγματα τα οποια φοβομαστε που στην πραγματικοτητα ειναι ψευτικα , ο φοβος με λιγα λογια ειναι ψευδαισθηση.
